SIGNAL-ACTIVATED LINGERIE
A lingerie comprises a panel, a first and second strap, and a signal-activated fastener. The first and second straps are coupled via the signal-activated fastener which is housed inside a housing. The signal-activated fastener unfastens when it receives a signal, causing the housing to decouple from the end of one of the straps and pulling the entire lingerie with it so that the lingerie falls off from the wearer's body.

wherein the signal-activated fastener is responsive to a signal and operative to unfasten causing the housing to decouple from one of the second first-strap-end and second second-strap-end, and wherein the weight of the housing due to gravity causes the lingerie to fall off from the wearer's body.
2 . The lingerie of claim 1 , wherein the lingerie is one of a bra, a panties, and a combination thereof.
3 . The lingerie of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first strap and second strap comprises elastic material, wherein by coupling the housing with the second first-strap-end and second second-strap-end the elastic material is stretched, and wherein by unfastening the signal-activated fastener, the strain energy associated with the stretched elastic material further causes the lingerie to fall off from the wearer's body.
4 . The lingerie of claim 1 , wherein the housing comprises a spherical shape.
5 . The lingerie of claim 1 , wherein the one of the second first-strap-end and second second-strap-end comprises a ferrous component, and wherein the signal-activated fastener comprises:
(a) a sensor capable of sensing pressure waves generated by a person clapping his/her hands and operative to generate an electrical signal;
(b) a controller responsive to the electrical signal and operative to generate a control signal; and
(c) an electromagnet magnetically coupled with the ferrous component thereby fastening the lingerie;
wherein the electromagnet is responsive to the control signal and operative to demagnetize thereby decoupling from the ferrous component.
6 . The lingerie of claim 5 , wherein the sensor is a microphone.
7 . The lingerie of claim 5 , wherein the controller is a microprocessor.
8 . The lingerie of claim 5 , wherein the controller generates the control signal upon verifying that the electrical signal comprises two consecutive claps within a predetermined time interval.
9 . The lingerie of claim 5 , wherein the controller generates the control signal upon verifying that the electrical signal comprises a single clap including a predetermined amplitude.
10 . The lingerie of claim 5 , wherein the sensor is a voice biometric sensor capable of sensing voice of a person and operative to generate an electrical signal.
11 . The lingerie of claim 10 , wherein the controller generates the control signal upon verifying that the electrical signal substantially matches a predetermined signal.
12 . The lingerie of claim 11 , wherein the predetermined signal is at least one of a password, a phrase, and a combination thereof.
13 . The lingerie of claim 5 , wherein the sensor comprises at least one of a biometric sensor, pressure sensor, and optical sensor.
14 . A method for unfastening a lingerie, said lingerie comprising:
(a) a panel that covers one or more areas of a wearer's body, said panel including a first panel-end and a second panel-end;
(b) a first strap including a first first-strap-end and a second first-strap-end, wherein the first first-strap-end is coupled with the first panel-end;
(c) a second strap including a first second-strap-end and a second second-strap-end, wherein the first second-strap-end is coupled with the second panel-end; and
(d) a housing that houses a signal-activated fastener, said housing including a first housing-end and a second housing-end, wherein the first housing-end is coupled with the second first-strap-end and the second housing-end is coupled with the second second-strap-end;
said method comprising:
(i) responding to a signal via the signal-activated fastener; and
(ii) unfastening the signal-activated fastener causing the housing to decouple from one of the second first-strap-end and second second-strap-end, and wherein the weight of the housing due to gravity causes the lingerie to fall off from the wearer's body.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the one of the second first-strap-end and second second-strap-end comprises a ferrous component, and wherein the step of responding to a signal via the signal-activated fastener comprises:
(i) sensing pressure waves generated by a person clapping his/her hands via a sensor included in the signal-activated fastener; and
wherein the step of unfastening the signal-activated, fastener comprises:
(i) generating an electrical signal via the sensor;
(ii) responding to the electrical signal via a controller included in the signal-activated fastener;
(iii) generating a control signal via the controller;
(iv) responding to the control signal via an electromagnet included in the signal-activated fastener, said electromagnet magnetically coupled with the ferrous component thereby fastening the lingerie; and
(v) demagnetizing the electromagnet thereby decoupling from the ferrous component.
16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the step of generating the control signal via the controller comprises generating the control signal upon verifying that the electrical signal comprises two consecutive claps within a specific time interval.
17 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the step of responding to a signal via the signal-activated fastener comprises sensing voice of a person via a sensor included in the signal-activated fastener.
18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the step of generating the control signal via the controller comprises generating the control signal upon verifying that the electrical signal substantially matches a predetermined signal.
19 . A panel that covers one or more areas of a wearer's body, said panel comprising:
(a) a first panel-end and a second panel-end; and
(b) a housing that houses a signal-activated fastener, said housing including a first housing-end and a second housing-end, wherein the first housing-end is coupled with the first panel-end and the second housing-end is coupled with the second panel-end;
wherein the signal-activated fastener is responsive to a signal and operative to unfasten causing the housing to decouple from one of the first panel-end and second panel-end, and wherein the weight of the housing due to gravity causes the panel to fall off from the wearer's body.
